In addition to the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K [removed: (“2024] [added: (“2025] Form 10-K”), the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating us and our business because such factors may significantly impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.
The changes in demand may require our management to adjust spending and other resources allocated to operating [removed: activities.][added: activities, which can be made more challenging due to the multi-year nature of investments made in certain technology programs and other initiatives.]
Lam Research Corporation [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] 10-K 12
During periods of rapid growth or decline in demand for our products and services, we [added: may] face significant challenges in maintaining adequate financial and business controls, management processes, information systems, and procedures for training, assimilating, and managing our workforce, and in appropriately sizing our supply chain infrastructure and facilities, work force, and other components of our business on a timely basis.
- a decline in demand for our products [removed: or] [added: and/or] services;
Lam Research Corporation [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] 10-K 13
In addition, we face competition from companies that exist in a more favorable legal or regulatory environment than we do, who are able to sell products for certain applications at certain customers that we are prohibited from selling to under applicable export controls, allowing the freedom of action in ways that we may be unable to [removed: match.][added: match and potentially contributing to the strengthening of such companies’ ability to compete with us.]
In many [removed: cases] [added: cases,] speed to solution is necessary for customer satisfaction and our competitors may be better positioned to achieve these objectives.
In addition, the emergence of “big data” and new tools such as machine learning and artificial intelligence [added: (“AI”)] that capitalize on the availability of large data sets is leading semiconductor manufacturers and equipment manufacturers to pursue new products and approaches that exploit those tools to advance technology development.
Future technologies, processes, or product developments may render our [added: current product offerings obsolete, leaving us with non-competitive products, obsolete inventory, or both.]

[removed: The outcomes of such an alliance can be the definition of a particular tool set for a certain function and/or the standardization of a series of process steps that use a specific set of manufacturing equipment, while] [added: In addition,] the outcomes of consolidation can [added: potentially] lead to an overall reduction in the market for semiconductor manufacturing equipment as customers’ operations achieve economies of scale and/or increased purchasing power based on their higher volumes.
- legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory changes (including, but not limited to, changes in import/export regulations and tariffs, such as regulations imposed by the U.S. government restricting exports to [removed: China)] [added: China,] or [added: potential additional tariffs on imports, and tariffs imposed by other countries) or] changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing requirements;
- macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, including those caused by [removed: the Russian invasion of Ukraine,] [added: war,] conflict in the Middle [removed: East,] [added: East or elsewhere, or] bank failures; and geopolitical issues;
- transportation, communication, demand, information technology, or supply disruptions based on factors outside our control, such as strikes, acts of God, wars, terrorist activities, [added: international conflict,] widespread outbreak of illness, [added: or] natural or man-made [removed: disasters, international conflict, or] [added: disasters (including disasters resulting from] climate [removed: change;][added: change), including earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, flooding, and heat waves;]

A significant trade dispute, [removed: impact] [added: impact,] and/or disruption in any area where we do business could have a materially adverse impact on our future revenue and profits.
In addition, the U.S. government has an ongoing process of assessing technologies that may be subject to new or additional export controls, and it is possible that such additional controls, if and when imposed, could further adversely impact our ability to sell our products outside the U.S. The implementation by the U.S. government of broad export controls restricting access to our technology (such as recent controls limiting exports to China) may cause customers with international operations to reconsider their use of and reliance on our products, which could adversely impact our future revenue and [removed: profits.][added: profits and strengthen competitors who are not subject to such restrictions.]
Furthermore, there are risks that foreign governments may, among other things, take retaliatory actions; insist on the use of local suppliers; compel companies to partner with local companies to design and supply equipment on a local basis, requiring the transfer of intellectual property rights and/or local manufacturing; utilize their influence over their judicial systems to respond to intellectual property disputes or issues; and provide special incentives to government-backed local customers to buy from local competitors, even if their products are inferior to ours; all of which could adversely impact our [added: ability to compete as well as our] revenues and margins.
We expect to continue to enter into hedging transactions, for the [removed: purposes outlined, for the foreseeable future.]
Lam Research Corporation [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] 10-K 16
[added: Moreover, by hedging these foreign currency denominated revenues, expenses, monetary] assets, and liabilities, we may miss favorable currency trends that would have been advantageous to us but for the hedges.
In addition, to the extent [removed: artificial intelligence] [added: AI] capabilities improve and are increasingly adopted, they may be used to identify vulnerabilities and to implement increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity attacks.
Further, the use of [removed: artificial intelligence] [added: AI] by us, our customers, suppliers, and third-party providers, among others, may also introduce unique vulnerabilities whose existence or exploitation could have a material adverse effect on our business or operations.
- our failure to meet, or violation of, regulatory or other legal obligations, such as the timely publication or filing of financial statements, tax [removed: information] [added: information,] and other required communications.

Demand for electronic products and other factors, [removed: such as the COVID-19 pandemic,] have resulted in, and may in the future result in, a shortage of parts, materials and services needed to manufacture, deliver and install our products, as well as delays in and unpredictability of shipments due to transportation interruptions.
In addition, difficulties in obtaining parts, materials or services necessary to deliver or install products or perform services have adversely impacted, and may in the future adversely impact, our ability to recognize revenue, our gross margins on the revenue we [added: recognize, and our other operating results.]

Our customers (and their customers and other downstream parties) may also be adversely affected by the tariffs, export controls and other trade issues described above.
Additionally, certain materials are primarily available in a limited number of countries, including rare earth elements, minerals, and metals.
The supplies, equipment, raw materials and other inputs necessary for the businesses of our customers and other downstream parties could become more difficult to obtain for various reasons not limited to business interruptions of suppliers, reduced availability of labor, transit disruptions, consolidation in their supply chain, export controls, sanctions, trade restrictions, tariffs, geopolitical tensions, economic circumstances, conflict, or political conditions.
If the ability of downstream parties to source the inputs needed to produce their products is impaired, then demand for our products may be adversely impacted.
This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) was signed into law.
In general, the provisions of the IRA are effective beginning with our fiscal year 2024, with certain exceptions.
The IRA includes a new 15% corporate alternative minimum tax.
We have evaluated the impacts of the IRA, including guidance issued by the Treasury Department, and do not expect it to have a material impact on our effective tax rate.
In addition, the U.S. has made several corporate income tax proposals, including changes in the taxation of non-U.S. income.
If enacted, such changes could have a material impact on our effective tax rate.

Fiscal year 2025 revenue increased 23.7% compared to fiscal year 2024, driven by strong customer demand for semiconductor equipment systems as well as customer support-related revenues from customer investments across memory and non-memory markets.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 largely due to improved factory efficiencies and favorable product mix, partially offset by increased transformational charges.
The increase in operating expenses in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 was driven by higher employee-related costs primarily as a result of increased headcount, increased spending on transformational activities, and higher outside service expense.
Revenue increased in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 due to increased equipment spending by our customers across Memory and Foundry market segments as well as increased customer support-related revenue for upgrades, spares, and services.
The deferred revenue balance increased to $2.7 billion as of June 29, 2025 compared to $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in advance deposits from newer customers.

Interest income decreased in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 primarily due to lower interest rates, partially offset by higher cash balances.
Interest expense decreased in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 primarily due to the maturity of $500 million of the Company’s senior notes in March 2025.

The decrease in the effective tax rate in fiscal year 2025 as compared to fiscal year 2024 was primarily due to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits from lapses of statutes of limitation in fiscal year 2025 and the change in level and proportion of income in higher and lower tax jurisdictions.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was signed into law by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The impact on income taxes due to change in legislation is required, under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, to be recognized in the period in which the law is enacted, which is during our fiscal year 2026.
In general, the OBBBA introduces changes to U.S. taxation, including changes in the taxation of non-U.S. income.
We are currently assessing the potential implications of these changes to our fiscal year 2026 Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have an accounting policy election to record deferred taxes related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”).
We have a policy to include interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

In March 2025, $500 million principal value of our 2025 Notes were settled upon maturity using available cash on hand.
In January 2025, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The amendment increased the unsecured revolving credit facility commitment from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion and extended the maturity of the facility from June 2026 to January 2030.
The facility provides for an expansion option that will allow us, subject to certain requirements, to request an increase in the facility of up to an additional $750 million, for a potential total commitment of $2.75 billion.
Please refer to [Note 14, “Long-term Debt and Other Borrowing](#i741682724a1a48e58764141f1ff950bd_124)[s"](#i741682724a1a48e58764141f1ff950bd_124) to our Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of this 2025 Form 10-K for additional information.
In addition, in the ordinary course of business, we issue purchase orders based on estimates of our production needs, many times well in advance of delivery dates.
The commitments under these open purchase orders are not included in the off-balance sheet commitments disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, as we generally have the option to cancel the purchase orders at our convenience, reschedule, and/or adjust quantities based on our business needs.
As of June 29, 2025, we expect to fulfill approximately $387 million within one year related to these arrangements.
During fiscal year 2024, wafer fabrication equipment spending was roughly flat on a year-on-year basis, with strength in the DRAM market, offset by declines in the non-volatile memory, Foundry, and Logic markets.
In the quarter ended March 26, 2023, we initiated a restructuring plan designed to better align the Company’s cost structure with industry investment levels.
We invested in a number of business process improvements and initiatives and incurred expenditures from these activities of approximately $315 million, inclusive of the restructuring activity during the second half of fiscal year 2023 and the 2024 fiscal year.

Fiscal year 2023 revenue was slightly higher than fiscal year 2022.
Customer support-related revenue increased in fiscal year 2023 due to continued strength in specialty node investments, which was offset by a decline in our systems revenue as a result of semiconductor demand weakness, largely in the memory market.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased due to inflationary cost pressures that led to higher spending on material costs, as well as costs associated with restructuring related activities, partially offset by favorable customer and product mix.
The increase in operating expenses in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022 was driven by higher deferred compensation plan-related costs, restructuring-related charges, employee-related costs as a result of increased headcount, depreciation and amortization, and supplies, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of intangible assets as the intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Novellus have fully amortized.
The China region had the largest geographic concentration with 42% of our revenues during this period.
Revenue increased in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022 primarily due higher revenue from CSBG related to strength in mature node equipment, while the overall Asia region continued to account for a majority of our revenues.
The deferred revenue balance decreased to $1.6 billion as of June 30, 2024 compared to $1.8 billion as of June 25, 2023.
primarily due to a decrease in advance deposits from newer customers.
The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue for fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022 was due to inflationary cost pressures that led to higher spending on material costs, partially offset by favorable customer and product mix.
The decrease in SG&A expense during fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022 was primarily driven by a decrease of $44 million in amortization of intangible assets, as the intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Novellus have fully amortized, as well as from $12 million in lower employee-related costs, partially offset by $17 million in higher deferred compensation plan-related costs.
Beginning in our fiscal year 2023, a provision enacted as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act requires us to capitalize research and experimental expenditures for tax purposes.
Due to this provision, we expect our cash tax payments to increase significantly in the near term and stabilize in future years as the capitalized expenditures continue to amortize.
On August 16, 2022, the IRA was signed into law.
In general, the provisions of the IRA are effective beginning with our fiscal year 2024, with certain exceptions.
The IRA includes a new 15% corporate alternative minimum tax.
We have evaluated the impacts of the IRA, including guidance issued by the Treasury Department, and do not expect it to have a material impact on our effective tax rate.

On May 21, 2024, we announced a 10-for-one stock split, which is expected to be effective after market close on October 2, 2024, for stockholders of record at that time.
Final settlement of the February 2024 ASRs occurred during April 2024, resulting in the receipt of approximately 140 thousand additional shares, which yielded a weighted-average share price of $917.38 (net of applicable excise taxes) for the transaction period.

(1)During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, we acquired 144 thousand shares at a total cost of $135.9 million which we withheld through net share settlements to cover minimum tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock unit awards granted under our equity compensation plans.
The shares retained by us through these net share settlements are not a part of the Board-authorized repurchase program but instead are authorized under our equity compensation plan.

Common Stock Split: On October 2, 2024, the Company effected a ten-for-one stock split of its common stock and a proportionate increase in the number of authorized shares.
All share and per share amounts throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split.
The par value per share remains unchanged at $0.001 per share after the stock split.
For the periods presented,
The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements other than additional footnote disclosures.
Refer to [](#i741682724a1a48e58764141f1ff950bd_139)[N](#i741682724a1a48e58764141f1ff950bd_139)[ote 19:](#i741682724a1a48e58764141f1ff950bd_139) [Segment, Geographic Information, and Major Customers](#i741682724a1a48e58764141f1ff950bd_139).
The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have an impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements other than additional footnote disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires disaggregation of certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 which clarified the effective date for entities that do not have an annual reporting period that ends on December 31st.
The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted.
The Company is required to adopt this standard in fiscal year 2028 for the annual reporting period ending June 25, 2028 either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements.

For the majority of market-based PRSUs granted in the 2025 fiscal year, the number of shares that can be earned over the performance period is based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to other companies in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (“XSOX”), and ranges from 0% to 150% of target.
Relative TSR performance is measured using the average closing prices of each XSOX company for the 50-trading days prior to the dates the performance period begins and ends.
The target number of shares is earned based on the percentile ranking of the Company’s TSR among the TSRs for the companies making up the XSOX Index.
If the Company’s TSR is negative over the performance period, the payout will be capped at 100%, regardless of the percentile ranking.

Interest income in the year ended June 29, 2025 decreased compared to the year ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to lower interest rates, partially offset by higher cash balances.
Interest expense decreased in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024 primarily due to the maturity of $500 million of the Company’s senior notes in March 2025.
